   Up to you mate, alot of people will say go 40mm as to keep handling, im down 60mm as i dont really need super handling as mine is not a track car.
   
   Mine handles better than standard with less body roll but most importantly it looks a hell of a lot better

   50mm is best for looks and handling mixed.

    60 looks great but I would say 50 is a nice compromise
